mob psychology

This is what I have so far. I think most of you should be able to see where I'm going with this. Somehow it seems unfinished. I want to explain the fact that I know that public perception influences the lives of the victims of mental disorders, yet that a scientific authority is better suited to deal with these issues rather than the mob. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Dear Editor,
Your article of February 10th on naming mental disorders is indicative of the increasing tendency to democratize science. In calling for a public debate on this issue the American Psychiatric Association deferring its responsibility to the public when it should be setting guidelines based on the scientific findings that it produces. It is strange that the emotional impact of the diagnosis on the patient should be considered in this regard. A diagnosis is a tool for the medical professional, not an identity label for the afflicted. Instead of pandering to the public that grows ever more sensitive to any perceived criticism, the APA should focus on diagnosis and treatment of illness. I believe it is dangerous to leave these matters to the whims of the mob.
